Avon Haul C14

Hey Guys,

So here is my Avon haul, I 've got another delivery coming on Thursday (that's how late this post is going up...apologies *flutters eyelashes*) So instead waffling through an intro I'm just gonna get cracking...

 First up is this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag, in the magazine its classed as an overnight bag, but I happily use it as a handbag :D

£20.00

 Christian Lacroix - Absynthe EDP for her 50ml 

£15

I cant explain scents but all I know is that this perfume is fabulous. Its got this really sophisticated kind of scent to it, and the scent lasts for AGES, which I'm so happy about.

 Natural Vanilla Shake body lotion 200ml

£0.99

 This  lotion is mmmmm, it smells delicious.And like the perfume the scent lasts AGES!

Hello Kitty Cosmetic bag

£2.99

 Beauty Bonus Bag, when you brought 2 things from set pages you got this for free. I think it was worth £24

It came with:

• Anew Clinical Thermafirm Face Lifting Cream - trial size - which I wont be using
• PVC Cosmetics bag
• Ultra colour rich Mega impact lipstick - Really Rosy
• Nailwear pro nail enamel - Sequined Turquoise

 I couldn't get a good swatch photo cos the true colour of the lipstick just was not showing up properly. But it is such a pretty colour.

 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Rose

£3

 Unfortunately theses don't have a name :(  The purple is coming up quite blue in the photo. But in real life its not. I have to build these colours up a bit cos I don't think these were designed for my skin tone. But once built up they are so pretty.

 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Sky

£3

 Apologies for my eyebrows in the pics, they need doing *hangs head* haha I actually hurt my eyes trying to build up the colour, its feels really weird and a but sore :( but stick to a make up brush instead of the sponge tip applicator provided. :(

Nailwear Pro Nail enamel

Left: Vivid Violet -£5

Right: Decadence - £5

I will be doing swatches of these in my nail haul, keep an eye out :)

 Eyeshadow brush

£2.50

 Pro Luscious lip pout lip colour - Spiced Wine

£5

This lipstick comes with a lip gloss in the lid.I was trying to get the sparkle in this lip gloss to come up, it really hasn't caught it in the swatch. Its just about picked up in the picture above.

I bought a few eyeliners,

Big colour eye pencil - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice - £4

Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Sugar Plum - £5

Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle - £1.25

Swatches:

Top 2 - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice

Bottom 2 -  Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle and Sugar Plum

I am so happy with these eyeliners. The eye pencil duo is so creamy and pigmented. And the glimmersticks just glide on so nicely. With Sugarplum I would probably find a colour close to it and apply it over the top to intensify the colour if you are of a darker skin tone.

I hope you enjoyed this post :)

INGLOT Haul and Review

Hi guys,

Again I am so so sorry for not posting any make up blogs, been very busy with college work.

So finally, as you can tell from the title I am now going to do my review of the Inglot stuff I bought like 2 months ago haha.

So on the 18th November me and some of the girls went to the Inglot store in Westfields in Shepherd's Bush. They were holding a student discount day specifically for my college, we were getting 20% off.

So when me and my friend got to the store it had been closed off to the public and only us students were allowed in, and they welcomed us at the door and had drinks laid out, I felt very VIP haha, especially when people walked by and were looking like "Oh whats going in there?".

All the palettes I got were from the freedom system. That consists of types of different palettes, you can see the palettes I'm talking about here. I got the 10 , 5 and 4 space palette.

So when you start choosing your make up you get this magnetic board, you then take and go round and the freedom system collection of make up which consists of eyeshadow, contour powder, bronzer, concealer, foundation and lipstick. When you see an item you want you pick it up and stick them on the palette. Once you've sorted through all the makeup...which was quite daunting because there was so much make up, the store assistants will sort your stuff into your palettes and put them together for you. They are so nice and helpful in there and very accommodating and they offer so much information.

As I walked in there I was like a kid in a candy store, I was really giddy walking around the shop haha. I love Inglot the brand is absolutely amazing. I think they may take the place of MAC as my favourite high end brand.

Eyeshadow palette - £35

Top left to right: #379, 418, 491, 60,30
Bottom left to right: #70, 415, 50, 55, 10

Swatches

These eye shadows are sublime, they are so pigmented and they blend so well. They are definitely worth the money paid for them. I basically paid £3.50 per eyeshadow, I think that's pretty bloody brilliant, for such high quality products. :o)

Lipstick - £15

Left to right: #34, 58, 03, 02, 89

Swatches

Just like they eye shadows, these lipsticks are very pigmented and I find quite nourishing on the lips. I have found with some lipsticks they can be quite drying on the lips, but I haven't had this problem with these. And they last a long time too. :o)

Blush - £26

Left to right: #40, 38, 27, 29

Swatches - the blushes back to front: #29, 27, 38, 40

Matte Black gel eyeliner - £8

I don't know who designed this eyeliner but oh my word, this stuff does not budge, it is the best gel eyeliner I have used in a long time, I'd say its even better than the Bobbi Brown and MAC gel liners. Normal eye make up remover wont do the trick when it comes to removing this unless it is oil based, otherwise you will be scrubbing at your eyes FOREVER probably until they are a bit sore. I found the best product to remove it with is Johnson's baby oil.

#77

Soft precision pencil eyeliner - £6

This is your standard kohl eye pencil, its very good and glides on nicely. Its really good for creating a 1920s smoky eye look, or just lining the eyes.

#20

Fluffy blending brush - £13

Great quality brushes, for a really good price and its so soft. Great for blending (obviously lol) and placing colour all over the lid.

#6SS

Under eye brush - £8

Again good quality brush for a decent price and very soft. This brush is for getting right underneath the eye especially when trying to apply shadow to under the lower lash line.

#13P

And last but by no means last...

DUO adhesive - £7

An old reliable when it comes to applying lashes, strip or individual.

I have only two complaints Inglot and its not even about the products its about the brand. Inglot products don't have names, they just have letters and numbers, which kinda sucks. I hate that, I like the names brands come of with for their items. Another thing is that you cant order online, and that's a bit of a pain in the butt because I have to travel like an hour and a half to get to Inglot :(

All of these products cost me £94.90 half of my budget, so my mum and credit card were very happy that day lol.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post :0) sorry for all the rambling haha
